[BlogTalk] Gilbert Cattoire

Gilbert is a French journalist. He was involved in 1995 in setting up Sarajevo Alive, a Unesco site that supported 30 journalists. More or less by accident, the team decided to let all the local inhabitants express themselves online, unedited. There was a tremendous response: 25,000 readers in the first 20 days. "The Internet is the warmest medium of all."

The audience is now influencing the journalist. We are moving from co-existence to conviviality,i.e., an active interest in and caring about one another. To participate is communicate and colalborate.

Gilbert announced that five years of work today have again saved the Sarajevo Online archives. You can see it here and soon here.

Just a note: the www.directreality.com URL isn't active yet.
For now: www.lepetitcalepin.com (in French)
or www.cattoire.net (bio, in english, with links to various websites I am currently busy with)

And there were four journalists in Sarajevo, not 30 (although we did have an assignment that emanated from 30 international newspapers)

I was glad to meet you in Vienna.
